This City Aint Too S... Gritty

This will be a short story and poem series related to pictures, which I'll upload, taken from around Liverpool.I was inspired to do this simply because I found a poem I typed up in 2009 - it was about my trip to the Anglican - I have left it in it's untouched format of upper and lower case, as I was later taught the poems are wrote in lower case during a writing course.I'll write more about the sites of the city - my observation and knowledge about the loccation.I'm a local but act like a 'tourist' in the sense I enjoy sightseeing & have numberous pictures.Will'o'Stars ©Updated whenever I take pic's out and about.

Them..  Those...

Them... Those...People you'd deal with at work:- co-workers- bosses- customersEssentially, anybody you need to be around who could make things more difficult then they need to be.This is a blog-ish story accounting my personal experiences, along with the odd special chapter doccumenting the accounts of people I know.Though seemingly bleak, the aim of this series is to share and hopefully give people a bit of a boost, something to relate their experience to & know they're not odd or alone.Those around me & myself rant about work, some people don't have this luxury.I have had apparantely contrasting work & am able to more empathetic to specific sectors I knew little of before hand - so you'll likely find a work rant just for you. ;)Updated when stuff happens, I remember stuff or someone's told me stuff.
